Vincent Price again in a non-Corman picture based on a couple of Guy de Maupassant short stories. He plays a widowed magistrate Simon Cordier who has a meeting with a condemned murderer who claims his actions were directed by a malign spirit, the Horla. After the man's premature death, Simon finds the Horla has followed him home and begins to direct his actions.
It's a decent story but a bit too long in the telling.
